Thursday’s business headlines

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) – Here’s a look at Thursday’s business headlines.

Plainfiled-based business 

Plainfield-based MD Logistics is expanding and expected to create up to 50 new jobs by the end of 2023.

The company is investing $1 million in building improvements for the temperature-controlled Plainfield storage space, which already is fully operational.

The company provides storage for its clients for things like keeping pharmaceuticals in cold storage.

Bloomberg says eco-friendly straws, sneakers, garments and packaging are often pricier than their conventional counterparts, leaving poor and middle-class people with not much of a choice.
